This beautiful unmarked doll came to me all dirty and her wig was becoming unglued and was coming apart. I sent her to Wanda Houck for a beauty makeover and this is what came back. An absolute beauty!! I dressed her in a fabulous Sweet Sue organdy gown with blue accents from the 50's.

This platinum blonde was purchased from a woman here in Lancaster. Her hair was a mess, so her French wig was cleaned and put back into the original set.

This doll was purchased at Black Angus Antique Center in Adamstown, Pa. She was filthy, her hair was matted and dirty, and the dress was dingy and crusted with dirt. I cleaned and reset her saran wig and freshened the dress. It's tagged and done in a lovely pink dotted swiss organdy with blue ribbon accents. She's just beautiful now.

This doll has flawless makeup with high color cheeks. I restyled her hair and made an outfit for her from a Hoyer pattern. I used a vintage pillbox hat with veil for the stole, the waist ornament, and her veiled hat with feather accents.

This beautiful redhead with the french wig was purchased in Sommerville, NJ. Her hair was wild and unruly, so off to Wanda Houck she went. Now her hair is set in the typical style of the 50's. She's dressed in a wonderful gown taken from an Effanbee Honey. Now she's ready for a night on the town.

This is an unmarked doll but unmistakeably a Hoyer. I cleaned and reset her French wig and then dressed her in a Madame Alexander Cissy corset and a long, silk dressing gown by Effanbee.

This fantastic doll was purchased from Jan Foulke. Her hair and face are just flawless and she's all original and mint. Her dress had a few ink stains on the front, but due to my dilligence, they came out. This is a wonderful outfit, is not tagged, but was verifed by Mary Hoyer. She's now on the cover of the 16th Blue Book.

This blonde beauty was sent to me from a friend in California. I redressed her in a rare Sweet Sue taffeta gown with gold trim & gold sandals. I just love the Sweet Sue clothing on these dolls.

This rare doll was a fluke. A shipment of dolls with breasts got through without Mary Hoyers knowledge. She wanted to produce a play doll, not a fashion doll. She's dressed in a very rare outfit. It was created from a blouse of hers and is only 1 of 12 and is tagged.
